DUH....

After days/weeks/months or maybe even years of constant experimentation with my weekly tuition and study schedules, I have finally come to the conclusion that Sunday was never meant for studying academics, at all. In the BIBLE in the book of Genesis Chapter 2 verse 2-3 it says that 'By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating he had done.'

So I have only want thing to say about Sunday. Rest. Most students probably use Sundays to study. But I say as a christian I should use Sundays to learn more about God, by attending classes before or after church, and also by going to evening church service, which I hardly do so because of tuition.

The thing about parents is that they do not want their children to waste any time when it comes to studying. "Every second counts". That line was quoted by someone very big and important to my life and my personal well being. He is currently known as my father. Of course every second counts, but we should take time to enjoy the peace and serenity of the outdoors, enjoy every moment of life, from the time are born till the time we die.

One thing that made me angry was the fact that my father wants me to be studying every moment I'm awake. Here's a conversation I had with him once this week.
Dad: Arthur, why aren't you studying?
Me: I've been studying the whole day... In school, at tuition and at home, now I'm really tired... please let me have some rest...
Dad: So? As long as you have nothing else to do you should be using the time to study.
Me: Wa lao sian la dun liddat leh I damn tired liao la ( I use this language when I'm pissed off)
Dad: So you go to sleep now. Don't waste anymore time or I'll make you put another hour of studying.
Me: Ok la.

See? My dad sometimes pisses me off like that. But I know he means well. But just once I would like to do things on my own, without the constant, never ending nagging of both my parents. So sometimes when my eyes get tired after studying for a long period of time, I sometimes take a nap, or play the guitar or even go downstairs to play soccer with my friends.

And one more thing before I end this post. Since most working parents don't have to work on Sundays, why should students be forced beyond their control to study or work on Sundays? Its really seems unfair to me that they get a day off and we don't. Anything to comment? Please feel free to do so on my tagboard. Thanks.

Long time no post

....

Today school was as usual... Boring lessons boring life... After school went with Zhang Yi and Asri to Thomson Plaza to eat at BK, we met Alexis and Erny there... After that went back to school to meet Aron, Vincent and Daren... They wanted to go to AMK central to eat so I followed them... When we were walking out of the school, we saw this man running across the street, shortly after, Im not so sure of the full details, but Daren told me he knocked onto a van and fell. Behind him were 2 policemen who soon caught up with him and pinned him onto the road. Then one of them handcuffed him and then shortly after that the police van came along and the man was brought to a nearby police station ( I guess )... Well thats all... Got homework to do so gdnite

Title-less

Had quite some fun during the week...
Monday - quite fun.... after school went to the nearby MacDonalds before IT media, and i saw someone who used to be in the same class as me in Anderson Primary School... I din notice at first until I heard the group of girls behind Zhang Yi start spelling A-R-T-H-U-R... den i was like HUH??? So i looked over and saw her... After that i met up with my classmates, they told me they going to watch movie, but i couldn't tag along cos had CCA... and that Vincent skip CCa just to follow them go watch...
Tuesday - Came back to school and the few who went to watch movie told me that they had watched 'The Messengers'... Wow, a horror flick... they said the whole movie was very scary with many sudden shocks but they only went to watch for 1 purpose... They felt the main actress was very 'HOT'.... (diao)
Wednesday - After school went to eat at pizza hut with Daren, Shawn, Liang Chin, Ting Yuan and Annie... Not the group that i usually hang out with, but i went cos i had tuition with Daren that day, so might as well... At tuition Daren keep on talk so much crap den make the teacher quite pissed off lor... Haiz...
Thursday - Not fun... stay back for remedial den went home and den later went out for tuition...
Friday - The same, remedial den tuition but at least at night got net group... Net group was fun, we played the game called 'telephone line' which requires the players to pass a message to the person next to him and at the end we would see if the message was the same as the original message... But too bad Jie Jie Evie had to make the short messages toungue twisters... so usually at the 3rd person the whole message would have been screwed up... (we suspect David to be behind it) haha... so thats it for the long week... PEACE!

Sad Things

Haiz sian la on Friday got the parent teacher meeting... Supposed to play guitar for net but because of that then must miss net group... Darn... Then my parents after that keep on nagging at me to do so many things... Study this, study that... I feel like just giving up lor... Study so hard for a !@#&%$* O'level cert... Now also for the next three months not allowed to go edge.... Its as if my social life stops now... everyday after school go remedial, after that tuition... come home still must study somemore.... I now really hate my life more than ever!!!!

Synergize

Been too busy to post the last few days cos i was in the Youth Conference Synergize! It was an awesome time there. The band from US was really good and the lead singer Jeff Deyo was a great vocalist. The messages were good, I especially liked pastor Matthew Barnett's messages. Jeanne Mayo was also a good preacher and knew how to catch her audience's attention and helped the audience to understand her message usually by asking members of the churches to act out a skit which was really entertaining and funny. Their speeches were inspiring and many non believers got saved during those 3 days! Praise God!
